Isn’t it good that it spins up without no way of stopping it? Why would it be a problem that we do have a way of stopping it?

When you realize that in some languages, for instance, in Spanish, double-negatives are not just tolerated, but correct, it helps you to let go of this particular type of pedantry when it accidentally appears in an English sentence.

> Claude Desktop spins up a VM without no way of stopping it

I frequently make this error when I talk. My brain thinks of different ways to phrase what I want to say, but when I speak it starts with one and finishes with another. The result is almost always wrong in the way the title is, ie some variant of a double negation.

Sometimes it happens when I type, though I try to read it multiple times so often catch it.

Op is nitpicking on the poorly written title. I came here to find that comment :)

This question is answered by the post? There is reportedly actually no way of stopping it happen. Perhaps the poster had a brain fart while typing it. Maybe they speak a different dialect of English from you.

There's no dialect of English in which this is correct.

That could be true, but I don't think I'd bet on it myself.

Good call. The original comment is making fun of the incorrect double negative. “Without no way” means there is a way.

		Many kinds of double negative are acceptable in many English dialects, and are interpreted as emphasis. The negatives add, rather than multiply. (Though I admit I myself don't speak such a dialect, hence the equivocation.)

I agree. Why is this a problem?
